-
Using your fingers, press down firmly on the plastic slide and push in the direction of the arrows shown above the word "Open" on the plastic.
-
Remove the plastic slide from its location and set it aside.
-
These plastic slides are not interchangeable, so make sure each goes back to its original location in reassembly.
-
Remove all 4 AA batteries by placing your fingernail at one end of the battery and applying force upwards until the battery is freed from its holder.
-
Set the batteries aside, careful to not get them wet.
-
Insert your fingernail or a prying tool under the notch of the plastic slide that is protecting the watch battery.
-
Apply force in the direction of the arrow shown above the word "Open" on the plastic. The plastic piece covering the watch battery should come loose.
-
Set this plastic covering aside as well.
